Thanks, but sorry to report all I get with that is a revolving request
for password.

using putty I have that machine saved as m1.

immediately and am logged in after inserting it.

In emacs I try C-x d
then /plinkx:m1:/<RET>

Password prompt appears.  I insert passwd.  Password prompt appears
after a moment, I insert passwd.... and onward.
